Remy

Derived from the Latin Remigius, historically associated with the Latin word for an oarsman as well as the ancient Remi tribe of northeastern Gaul. Saint Remigius famously baptized Clovis I, King of the Franks, in the fifth century. In the United States, it lingered as a quiet curiosity from 1914 onward before surging in the twenty-first century across both boys and girls.

The name currently signals someone who was born well into the smartphone era. It carries a breezy, international rhythm that slides easily into modern daycare rosters without feeling tethered to one gender. People expect the bearer to own miniature canvas sneakers and a wooden balance bike. Statistically, there is a very strong chance the bearer is still learning long division.
